Custom loadout grenades acting wierd

[geezer 10]

So im using custom loadouts in the init lines of each individual soldier (i know its not ideal).

 

when i run the mission in multiplayer everything is fine except for the 2 hand grenades... they show in my inventory but are not selectable or throwable (they dont show in my hud) same for all my squad.

 

Now if i take 1 grenade from a crate i suddenly have 3  grenades, they show in my hud, are throwable and strangely my whole squad now has 3 grenades.

 

Any ideas as to whats going on here?

 

Thanks, Geezer

Show us your custom loadouts inits code.

And this is code from unit init field?.

[killzone_kid 1326]

Dont use init field in MP, especially for complicated gear loadouts, it is not not ideal, it is not recommended, period.

[geezer 10]

yeah im kinda new to all this... i guess i should script it?

 

Yes thats my unit Init :unsure:

[killzone_kid 1326]

If you gonna use init for MP, start it with:

if (!local this) exitWith {};

Then change every command that has xxxxGlobal variant, to that global variant, like for example, addWeapon has addWeaponGlobal, so use that. BIKI is your friend https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Scripting_Commands Of course this is really really bad hack, but it is better that nothing. Otherwise read up on locality and how to use CfgFunctions or various init scripts.

[geezer 10]

Davidoss how did you get my init post to format like that?

[davidoss 550]

Use CODE button in post editor

looks like <>

[geezer 10]

Ah thanks... have a great holiday

[geezer 10]

So for anyone interested i finally found this bit of code you can drop in to your group leaders ini

blue1 = group this; {[blue1, (_x select 1)] setWaypointVisible false; } foreach waypoints blue1;

It will cause  no waypoints will show up in SP or MP.

 

repeat for each group changing the group name eg blue2, blue3 etc

 

Thanks to all for your help :)
